Thanks for your note, and your kind comments - they are much appreciated ;) First, let me welcome you to Wikipedia and provide you with some useful links if you decide to stay with us:

Secondly, regarding your query you're quite right about the caption on Bombing of Darwin. As I think you've already discovered, the image uploader's caption (from the image page) says "The explosion of an oil storage tank and clouds of smoke from other tanks, hit during the first Japanese air raid on Australia's mainland, at Darwin on February 14, 1942. In the foreground is HMAS Deloraine, which escaped damage." I think we have to go with this, in the absence of any other sourced information to the contrary. I've changed the caption on the article to match the image. All the best, EyeSerene talk 19:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Even without the full view, it's relatively easy to tell just by the composition of the blast cloud. Depth charges only go off when they reach a preset depth, and had depth charges exploded in that photo, there would have been a lot more water and a lot less flame.  In addition, depth-charge explosions never form mushroom clouds.  They just tend to blast a lot of water in a wide geyser, as can be noted in the photo I've attached.  I have to agree with EyeSerene's assessment. Cam (Chat) 06:11, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
